Oh wow

So, I've known my personality type was INTP since I was in high school, but never really tried to find a gathering place for INTPs in general. Then, today, I saw my aunt post her personality type on Facebook, which lead me to 16personalities.com, and someone there had posted a link to this place.

I am very excited to be here now. I have a feeling that I will end up scouring the forum, and digging through every thread on here, when I have some free time.

Since this is the welcome subforum, I guess I should post up a bit about myself.

I am a single father of a 5 year old little boy, who I think is also INTP or INTJ (and possibly a genius). I went to school for biomedical chemical engineering for a few years, then switched to microbiology, then dropped out with less than 2 semesters left before graduation. I did this because I had started a business years earlier, which did well, then died at the hands of the FCC. Now I need to focus on building up the new business I am working with. That leaves no time for school.

I am a bitcoin enthusiast, cryptocurrency day trader, Community Manager and VP of Customer Service for the company I am working with, amateur programmer (learning C right now), craft beer connoisseur, attempting to setup a medical experiment to potentially open a medical research company (a friend is going to finance it if I can get the procedure \ materials list written), and amateur theoretical physicist. I don't really sleep at this point in my life.

You'll find some Bitcoin Enthusiast here to talk shop with, to be sure.

Did your start-up have something to do with Biomedical?

Well, the side business I am looking into would be in the Biomedical field. I've been offered up to $50,000 in funding if I can setup the initial experiment, and if it goes well, as much funding as necessary to move toward more advanced testing.

But, no. The one I am working with full time is not related to medicine. It is a bitcoin-based startup. I can't really reveal much more than that at the moment, because I signed an NDA. However, I will be able to in the near future, after we launch.

Thank you

Surprisingly, it isn't that bad. It was actually harder when I was just a father, and not a single father. I basically had two kids to take care of then, and one of them I did not get along with very well lol.

My son and I get along extremely well, and he is a very independent kid.

You are a good wizard. I am a lazy one; took the day off work. I soo needed it though. You know how that is, right? I also have to work on the weekend this time, so I figure. . . time to reboot. My system is lagging (needs a nap). Hope you like it here. The muggles aren't so bad.

edit. Oh crap, I forgot to say. I am a single mum. She's also a Harry Potter Head, amongst other artsy nerdy things. We have much in common, (intp/infp depending on the day-- we're gifted), she's 21 and we are still a team. Cool, eh? I likes it. So, yah, welcome to the castle. We don't have a pony, but we do have a moat and security matrix. lol

Hah, yeah, I know how that is. Unfortunately, staying home doesn't help me much, because I have been working from home for the past 5 years (previous business + the one I am in now). Strange as it must sound, I am really looking forward to the day that we have an office building, even if I am not required to be there. I would go there to work, at least sometimes, just for a change of scenery. That usually helps me refocus when I have gotten bogged down and distracted.
